hey guys, thought i'd give an update. since that original post i made, i started using my Steinberg UR12 but even that had its problems. I preferred Line 6's UX2 more so i decided to go back to it about a month ago. And it's been working fine for the most part. I'm not really having the same issue to the same DEGREE as before. maybe once in a while, my audio stops working, i just unplug the USB cable from my UX2 and then plug it back in and it starts working again. but this issue doesn't occur that frequently anymore. so i'm kinda satisfied i guess, it ain't perfect but hey i'll take it lol. Line 6's drivers still won't let me turn memory integrity back on (unless maybe if I re-installed Windows or I could try DLasky's suggestion too and try removing them manually but), I CANNOT UNINSTALL THE DRIVERS, BUT THAT'S OK, I DON'T NEED TO ANYMORE. Also maybe Microsoft solved most of the issue with an update on their end. That would be my guess. I guess not being able to turn memory integrity on is BAD, but I don't even really know what it's used for honestly. My original issue was that the audio keeps stop working unless i restarted my PC, and this issue does NOT happen that often anymore. so i feel much less frustrated TDLR: my issue is not occurring as frequently as before (it kinda happens on occasion), so i'm not as frustrated anymore.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 11, my UX2 has been posing more issues, issues that were present on Windows 10 too, however now they happen a lot more often because of memory integrity setting in Windows Defender, I think. So the issue is that randomly out of nowhere my audio would stop working, like there would be no audio coming from my headphones anymore and the only fix is to restart the computer because it wouldn't automatically re-load the drivers unless I restarted. Line 6's outdated drivers force me to turn memory integrity setting off in Windows Defender which didn't happen when I was on Windows 10. So the drivers are outdated, cmon Line 6... please put out an update to your drivers. Now my memory integrity setting In Windows Defender is set to off and I cannot even turn it back on because the UX2 drivers won't let me lol

ok fair enough, you're right those settings seem to be in File > Preferences > Hardware. But yeah, still doesn't make the Steinberg UR12 work with Pod Farm standalone. All the correct settings are selected (and even if they are not correct, I tried every other setting possible, still nothing), I can hear my edited voice with Pod Farm effects in Pod Farm monitored output when the program is open. But when you go to record voice in an app like OBS, Nvidia Shadowplay or Windows voice recorder, nothing, it doesn't record my voice the way I'm hearing it in Pod Farm monitoring output. My conclusion: The Steinberg just isn't compatible with Pod Farm standalone. Works as plugin with DAWs sure, but I want to be able to use both standalone and plugin with DAW with my Steinberg UR12. Tried everything but my Steinberg UR12 couldn't work with Pod Farm standalone so I gave up and just bought the Line 6 UX2 hardware. Anyway, it's not the perfect solution, but hey problem solved. Now my mic sounds great with the UX2, like I wanted it to, works with every app I can think of, shadowplay, OBS or windows voice recorder... this is exactly the reason why I bought Pod Farm. Pre-amped, clear and crisp mic quality/vocals. Could try to make a song with it or use it for podcasts or streaming/gaming commentaries. Cheers.

Look dude, I appreciate you trying, but you're not helping. This is what my settings look like in Pod Farm mixer when I'm using my Steinberg UR12 hardware (THERE's NO WAY TO SELECT MIC INPUT): Now look at this, this is what my settings look like in Pod Farm mixer when I'm using the Line 6 UX2 audio interface hardware (CAN SELECT MIC INPUT):

Nah. I tried every possible setting dude and nothing worked. What do you mean I couldn't find the settings? lol they're not there to begin with. I'm serious. some of the settings wouldn't even open. And a bunch of new settings became available to me after I started using the UX2 audio interface. These settings were not even there when I was using the Steinberg UR12. I even tried reinstalling windows/reinstall audio drivers Ok on a separate note, I can confirm this when I select my Yamaha Steinberg USB (ASIO) hardware in preferences on Pod Farm, if I try to click on "ASIO Settings" nothing opens - this is on Pod Farm 2.59, HOWEVER, on Pod Farm 2.55 it opens fine. Seems to be a glitch/bug in the new version. Which Focusrite Scarlett device are you using btw? If it's working for your Focusrite Scarlett why don't you tell me what the problem is then and how I can fix it?

Well, I finally got Pod Farm working with EVERYTHING now. not just with a DAW as plugin, but EVERYTHING. I had to buy the Line 6 UX2 interface. and now it's working with all apps I wanted it to work with. Nvidia shadowplay, OBS, windows voice recorder, audacity...you name it. it's working perfectly now. Told ya I just needed the UX2 audio interface. seems Pod Farm is not fully functional with other audio interfaces. With my Steinberg UR12 it would only work as a plugin in a DAW.

I just can't figure out how to use Pod Farm with my Steinberg UR12 to use it with streaming/recording software like OBS or Nvidia shadowplay... that's what i'm trying to troubleshoot/get help from the line 6 customer service right now. it works as a plug-in in DAWs. But I don't really use DAWs, i don't make music, atleast not right now. But i do game alot. and I want to use this when i'm communicating with my team while playing Overwatch too. You can see here in these 2 people's videos, you CAN use Pod Farm with OBS and they both have 1 thing in common. They're both using Line 6 UX2 audio interface:

i mean i'm certain that getting the UX2 will solve my issues. i'm looking at videos on youtube of other people using it with the UX2 audio interface and they have "special" settings available to them in Pod Farm that I don't get with my Steinberg UR12 audio interface. I think those settings might be what i need. it's the mixer settings, you can see what i'm talking about here... see how it says "INPUT" and etc for this guy when he goes to his mixer in Pod Farm? I don't get that with my audio interface. Also the people i've seen give tutorials about Pod Farm on youtube have all also been using the UX2 audio interface along with it:

don't worry i'm not dumb lol. i took this screenshot a day later. But when i was testing it with Pod Farm i had the correct input/outputs selected. i.e. i had Steinberg UR12 selected, but now i gave up on pod farm, i'm using voicemeeter instead so i changed it so that's what you're seeing in the screenshots. Anyway, how do i get this plug-in version? I am guessing the plug-in version of Pod Farm can only be used with DAWs...is that true? Also I will try using the recording feature on a DAW instead of applications like audacity, windows voice recorder, nvidia shadowplay or OBS and see if that works... although what i really want is to make Pod Farm work in OBS and nvidia shadowplay... Edit: nvm i just now understand what you mean by using Pod Farm as a plug-in. the plug-in method is working, but it only works in DAWs. so that's not applicable to my situation. I want to make Pod Farm work in streaming setups/recordings like Nvidia shadowplay and OBS. I've seen the streamer Samito use Pod Farm with his streaming setup and he also uses the line 6 hardware UX2 along with it. so I think my solution is to get the UX2 audio interface. I will probably end up returning/refunding this software and grab a UX2 instead which comes with Pod Farm included. Depending on if Line 6 customer service can help me troubleshoot and teach me how to make Pod Farm work with my Steinberg UR12 usb audio interface. if they can't help then i'm returning it and grabbing the UX2

currently trying to make Pod Farm 2 work with my "Steinberg UR12" usb audio interface (using an XLR mic), but no luck...

Clicking on ASIO settings does nothing btw.

There is no option for Pod Farm in audio input device in the windows sound settings. and why does it matter what I use it in? regardless of what it is, whether its cubase (DAW) or windows voice recorder, the point is, i can't get it to work with neither of those lol. and I think the problem is that Pod Farm isn't even compatible with Steinberg UR12 audio interface. its a shame they should include this information in the description so people know what they're buying. I just want to use this with my video games like when i'm in comms on Overwatch or when im streaming/recording videos for youtube. and for that, testing it in Windows recorder will suffice. if it works in windows recorder, it'll work in nvidia shadowplay which i use to record videos for youtube. and then it'll also work in OBS which is used for streaming.

I'm using a "Steinberg UR12" USB audio interface with Pod Farm 2 to pair it up with my XLR Audio Technica AT2020 mic. I finally got the program to detect my hardware after downloading the correct driver for my USB audio interface. the driver is called "Yamaha Steinberg USB (ASIO)". I select it. I can hear myself in Pod Farm after selecting various effects like noise gate, compressor or american classic, Screamer. I can hear myself and its working but when I try to record myself in Windows for example in windows voice recorder or Nvidia shadowplay or OBS, or Audacity, anything pretty much, i cannot HEAR my Pod Farm input (the various sound effects i selected) in Windows audio output/recording. this is sad. don't tell me Pod Farm doesn't work with my audio interface...

I am having this exact same issue. I'm using a Steinberg UR12. I can hear the effects in Pod Farm but cannot use it in windows apps like voice recorder, or discord, or skype, or a video game, or a DAW. pretty much i can't use this with anything.

I downloaded the Pod Farm 2 trial software. I added some things like "American classic", "noise gate" and "compressor" to make my mic sound more radio broadcast-ish. However, i don't think my mic is detected by the program so I can't use it until I setup my mic. How do i do that? is it even possible on the trial version? I use an audio technica AT2020 XLR mic connected to my USB audio interface "Steinberg UR12".
